via Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO by Matt Cutts on March 10, 2008
Yay! Google is opening up its “Summer of Code” for 2008. Google’s Summer of Code program encourages students to tackle open-source projects over the summer break. For a 2-3 more days, sponsor organizations are invited to apply and then students can apply starting March 24th. I’ve been thinking about some projects that I’d enjoying seeing. If anyone needs ideas, I’d love to see some of...

via The Daily WTF by Alex Papadimoulis on February 29, 2008
Not too long ago, I added my company, Inedo, to the federal government's Central Contractor Registration system. I don't know, I just didn't want to miss out on allthe funevery oneseemsto havewithgovernment work. Whenever one signs up for virtually any government thing, a deluge of companies somehow manage to find to out. The CCR is certainly no exception. One of the many companies...

via Valleywag: Google by Nicholas Carlson on February 29, 2008
SearchIgnite, which spends about $200 million each year on search advertising, says that clicks on Google ads aren't down or even flat as ComScore recently claimed. They're up 40.1 percent year-over-year. On all major search engines, paid clicks are up 45.7 percent year-over-year -- up 65 percent for retailers and non-mortage-related financial services. So WTF, ComScore? The most likely...

Clinton Undefeated In Uncontested Elections
via The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan by Patrick Appel on February 21, 2008
[Patrick Appel]This comment over at the Plank is priceless: This just goes to show that Obama only wins in states thathold contested elections. Sure, he wins big in caucus states, he winsbig in primary states, he wins big when turnout is low, and he wins bigwith record-high turnout. But what the Obama-worshipping media isoverlooking is that in each of the 25 state contests Obama has won sofar,...

If it's easy, and it works, high usage shouldn't be a surprise
via Chris Sacca's 'What is left?' by Christopher on February 18, 2008
With interest, I read recent accounts of Google's new mobile leader, former MSFT exec Vic Gundotra, exclaiming his shock that iPhone users sent fifty times the number of queries to Google than other mobile device users. "We thought it was a mistake and made our engineers check the logs again,” he relayed to the Financial Times. Yet, when I discussed this theme with former colleagues at...

via Jezebel by Dodai on February 19, 2008
An unknown couple paid for Girl Scout cookies with a fake $100 bill, reportsUSA Today. When the Scouts asked why it looked strange, the couple told them it had been washed. The girls gave the pair of con artists $93.50 in change after the purchase, and the exchange eradicated the Scouts' earnings that day. A local resident ended up donating $100 to the troop, but is there a patch for "Feeling...

obama vs. the nea
via ATLmalcontent by ATLmalcontent on February 18, 2008
You can argue -- correctly -- that public schools are underfunded, but even an unlimited budget couldn't overcome the pernicious influence of the National Education Association. It opposes every potentially constructive reform, protecting inferior teachers at the expense of students. Fortunately, Obama has expressed a willingness to take on one of his party's most loyal constituencies: At...

Project Implicit
via The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan by Andrew Sullivan on February 15, 2008
Harvard has an online test to see who you really like for president. It has to do with reflexes and positive associations. I'm a little jet-lagged and out of it, but my own score gives McCain a slight lead over Obama in the depths of my psyche. And yes, I disliked Huckabee more than Clinton. Just.
